    intimate prayer

    Jesus Christ Son of God
    My petitions now are few.
    You and you alone know what i need.
    Your love far deeper than mine.
    O Father, give me all I am unable to ask in my earthborn ignorance
    I ask not for renown or comfort's bliss
    only to stand.
    every hidden wound and shame I reveal to You.
    And You see what others (even I) do not see.
    See me, God
    raise me- say "come forth."
    I stand in silent awe of holy sacrifice that makes your judgements grace
    and your yes eternity
    this sufficient act (before my time) is beyond me
    and so i lay myself down.
    my bed an altar-
    carry me through the night.
    i burn my will for Your desire.
    speak into dry bones and broken heart
    bring holy fire in me.
